Join us at the 2023 International Maternal Newborn Health Conference (IMNHC) for an in-person side event to engage, share, and plan strategies to continue advancing the global respectful maternal and newborn care movement. The event is co-hosted by USAID MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership; the UNDP/UNFPA/UNICEF/WHO/World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP); and White Ribbon Alliance.
Time and Date: Wednesday May 10; 5:30pm-7:00pm SAST
Location: Protea 1&2, Cullinan Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa (Across the street from conference venue)
At this engaging side event, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Discuss progress and challenges still facing respectful maternity care (RMC) to date
- Strategize and map opportunities for cross-country and intersectoral collaboration and action post-conference
- Contribute to the future of the RMC movement across programs, policies, and practice
- Connect and network with your RMC colleagues from around the globe
The event will build on other important RMC sessions at IMNHC, including a satellite session to gather feedback on the development of a knowledge translation toolkit for respectful maternal and newborn care and a session on realizing RMC in practice with examples from Egypt, India, and Kenya.
More details on the agenda and speakers will be forthcoming. We look forward to meeting you there! Don’t forget to register to join us.
